New stuff

Afternoon, folks.

I wasn't able to get my vid from CNN yesterday into YouTube. It required coding knowledge that was beyond me. Recap: it's a friendly debate between me and another journalist over how good or bad a job the media is doing when it insists on discussing Barack Obama's race but then seems to glaze over (in my opinion) his biracial heritage.

I don't always look that chunky. But it's hard being pretty all the time.

Also, here and here are links to two articles I had in today's Miami Herald, the first about a husband and wife team of brain cancer experts, the second about a new kind of camp for at risk kids. They're quick reads.

You looked marvelous, darling! Your wife must have helped you with that outfit. j/k!!! You don't look at all chunky.

I don't care if Obama is bi-racial. To me, one's race won't affect their performance as President of the United States, so it really is a non issue with me. I'm a little older than middle aged (wink, wink) white woman, just for the record.

That said, I'm not really happy with either candidate and am in quite a quandary as to what I will do come election day. Not much either one says or does between now and then is likely to affect me either. Politics confound me. :(
